The costumes were amazing, the choreography was brilliant (THE POWER POSES!)… Just go and see SIX immediately! It’s sold out in my home-town (I know because I immediately tried to get tickets to go again) but everyone should see it on tour.
I love a modern retelling, deconstruction and adaptation of a classic play, and what better play to tackle than Shakespeare’s Othello?
Had a fantastic time last night taking part in an immersive mystery play, The Great Middlemarch Mystery. Starting at Draper’s Hall, we were presented with some intriguing characters and then were sent off to either follow one of them or forge our own paths, to gather clues and solve the mystery…
This week I had the pleasure of going to see Cluedo on stage at the Belgrade Theatre. I never thought I’d be going to see a play based on a classic board game, but I’d be up for seeing more adaptations! But of course, what could be more iconic than the characters of Cluedo…

After being invited to a press night for LGBTQ+ play, I Ain’t Dumb, I took a little while to formulate a constructive review.

How is it STILL January? I finally managed to get out of Coventry for a bit, and wandered over to Stratford-upon-Avon for a little wander round the historic town. Even at peak-tourism times, it just has this air of quietness about it, but today it was also thankfully empty too.
One thing I’ve always loved at the Belgrade is their yearly panto, but I hadn’t been since I was at uni (ahem… A decade ago…) So when the Belgrade invited me to their press evening for the kick off show of the panto season I shouted IT’S BEHIND YOU, and while they were distracted, I snatched the tickets.

On September 27th 2018 the Big Comfy Bookshop in Coventry turned 4. As a surprise, I decided to gather all of the thoughts of people who’s lives had been made just that little bit brighter by having the shop there. On October 5th 2021, this shop announced it is closing it’s Coventry doors and I’m feeling quite emotional…
